Thanks....what???

You know, I am sooooo excited to eat the turkey ,corn, mashed potatoes, and my grandma's stuffing!!! I am excited to see the family, and hang out with my grandparents' cats, I'm excited to do all that stuff...but wait, shouldn't I really be excited to give thanks most??? See, most of Americans have forgotten how to give thanks, and we've let it slip at this time of year, we are so caught up in our travel, and our fun this time of year ecspecially. I would recommend that everyone tonight, just sit down and make a list of the things we're thankful for. Ya, we are all thankful for family, friends, home, money...on and so on, but how about the small things, like that you daughter actually picked up her room for once, or, like on my list, #14 is mountain dew!!! 'Cause I love mountain dew! But, point is this Thankgiving, I challenge you all to make a list of your own, even if your just strollin' in your car going to mom's, or aunt's house, you can make a mental list, but just be really THANKFUL for all you have, and don't forget to thank Jesus for coming down to earth and forgiving us...God bless you all, and have a happy Thanksgiving no matter where this holiday takes you!!!

Do Ra Mi....

So...I wasn't quite sure what to bloga about, so I asked my aunt...she said, "music, blog about music", so I will. Well, here it goes, music. I think I will start out withmy beginning. 2 and a half years sgo, a good friend of ours recommended private lessons for me, so I went to my vocal teacher's studio and auditioned, guess what...I got in!!! So a week later I started singing lessons. What it is is you go into a lesson once a week, learn about singing, she helps you prepare a song of your choice, and the last Sunday of every month, you go up on stage with a mic. and sing your heart out in front of all the other students. It's WAYYYYYYY fun, and you learn tons of new songs by watching and listening to the others sing. now, 2 and a half years later, here I am, and presently I am working on a song that has these lyrics...quick pop quiz...what is this song,
'The smile on your face lets me know that you need me,'
'There's a truth in your eyes saying you'd never leave me,'
'The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall,'
'You say it best, _______________________________________,'
So, anyone know? EEEEEEE, time's out the correct answer is...'When you say nothing at all'!!!!!Yay! I bet Brenda got that one, I mean she was the one that inspired me to play/sing that song in the first place. I'm going to be singing and playing the guitar to it this Sunday at Voice Class. Wish me luck!

Sell, Sell, Sell!!!

Anyone know what time it is???? Girl Scout fall product selling!!!! You know it's funny how last year they switched the cookie sales with the other products/magazines. I mean, if I go to someone's house, and ask them if they would like to check out the order form for this year, they have that grin on their face, and a shine in their eyes, and I think YES!!!!, they're going to load that line up with products!!(lol, good frasing tessa), Then they squish my high hopes, and ask, "So, are there any new cookies this year? When I explain that they mixed the cookies up with the product sales, they just look and say, "Oh, well come on in, I'll look, but..."
So, Anyway, moral of the story, change isn't always the best in some cases. (P.S. did you notice how I just refered to one of the canadettes thoughts, but didn't notify who???? Lol, wink wink)....

Boo!!!

Today we had our little Jr. High halloween dance today! I didn't think that it would be very fun at all! I thought most of us(including me) would just sit around and talk...well, I was greatly mistaken! We(including me) were dancing, playing games, having fun and talking at the same time. I don't have anyone that I "like" if you know what I mean, so when it was time to find that "special someone", I just grabbed a balloon and started just waltzing around the big dance floor! It was so fun! Some people said I was crazy for waltzing with a balloon, but I thought it was fun to show off my craziness to my "co-workers" once and a while. After a little random dancing to the fast and crazy songs, my english teacher gave me a bag of candy, saying,"Here's for dancing...oh, and thanks for the entertainment!" That cracked me up!

Presents...again!?!?!

It just really occured to me yesterday that my borther's birthday is in four days!! Ahhh!!! I hadn't thought about it there is so much to do...I have to think about decorating, helping him with his annual birthday treats for his class, I have to get him a present, and.....then I stopped to actually think about it, and I realized, teehee, silly Tessa...those are mom and dad's jobs! I can relax, for now. But, I still SHOULD get him a gift...wait, wasn't it just yesterday he turned four years old???
